Last year Walmart-owned food chain Asda announced it was once again not take part in Black Friday - for the third year running. Since 2015 the chain has not participated in the massive sale event, and in 2016 the supermarket announced its customers preferred year-round deals rather than a single day of discounting. Instead the chain opted to stagger offers out in the months leading up to Christmas to enable shoppers to buy without the extra pressure.

Two other soldiers were killed in fighting that led to the kidnapping in the Hamas-run enclave, while Goldin himself was … [Read more...] about Israel clears soldiers in 2014 ‘Black Friday’ Gaza assault
